For quite some time now, Playa del Carmen<\/a> has been struggling to keep up with its growing population. The need for improving its infrastructure is never-ending. As more people relocate to the Riviera Maya, the need for traffic and pedestrian control becomes very crucial. This also includes keeping its large number of tourists who roam around the city\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s streets safe, as well. Fortunately, the government has come through with plenty of improvements such as paving roads<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n

Growing Population, Improved Infrastructure Needs<\/h3>\n

\"Infrastructure<\/p>\n

In fact, infrastructure improvements in Playa del Carmen are a must. One of the newest safety measures implemented by the local government are intelligent traffic lights. There are currently four in place<\/a>. However, according to Playa del Carmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Mayor, Cristina Torres Gomez, there are more to follow. Installing these state-of-the-art traffic control systems will monitor and improve the flow of traffic in certain designated areas. These intelligent devices will help make any over-crowded roadways a little easier for pedestrians and vehicles.<\/p>\n

Intelligent traffic lights use a robotic system that senses traffic in real time. This particular system uses cameras, radar and even induction loops (an advanced sound-detecting device) to feed information to the integration software and API (application programming interface). This in turn sends information to the traffic light itself, which then regulates its signal changes to better control the flow of traffic. With this in place, authorities hope to steady the flow of vehicles going through the intersection and decrease pedestrian and vehicle mishaps.<\/p>\n

A Better Playa del Carmen for Everyone<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Combining this type of technology with improvements made to the sidewalks, curbing and integration of proper markings helps prevent incidents involving pedestrians. Playa del Carmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s number one concern is keeping its residents and visitors safe. The government will continue to use officers to direct traffic at intersections where there is a heavy volume of cars. Improved signage that warns pedestrians of heavy traffic areas and to use designated crosswalks will also help eliminate unforeseen accidents.<\/p>\n

There will be more traffic officers patrolling the streets to assure that drivers are obeying the posted speed limits, as well. Along with the infrastructure improvements put forth by Playa del Carmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s authorities, there will be more cameras keeping an eye on busy intersections and thoroughfares. These cameras will also help direct emergency vehicles through congested areas by manipulating the traffic signals for their right-of-passage. Playa del Carmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s plan is to continue installing more intelligent traffic lights for everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s safety. Mayor Cristina Torres Gomez promises to keep Playa del Carmen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s streets pedestrian-friendly.<\/p>\n
